liberation Of the black man from
the cruel bonds OF slavery or the
Irshmen from Il tyranhical thradom, or to
defend the olive hued Oriental from the
bands of cruel mob. Against these devils
Mr.. Beecher arose in the majesty of his III
comparable intellect and eloquence, and the
thunders of that voice now stilled by death,
ratified like shot and shell against the fOrtiti
cation of humanitys enemy. and, in the
language of one of old, said, "Let My People
Co." Wherever and whenever the enemy OF
manhood has shown his face he has found
this tireless foe ready to do battle. Was ii in
politics, Mr.. Beecher marshaled his mighty.
powers to meet him. In the church, He
met him on his own ground. On the slave
owners auction block? Mr.. Beecher was
there. Among the aristocracy? Mr.. Beecher
rebuked him. Was it among the poor work
inginen? Mr.. Beecher grappled with him and
threw him, stripped him of his garments and
left him too dead for the hand of any Samar-
itan or his oil to revive. In the scientific
world, in the realm of literature, yes, every
where the foe of humanity lifted his de-
formed head. Mr.. Beecher challenged him TO
mortal combat. And in not u single instance
did he fail TO get the victory over the beast.
He was invincible. Bring down upon his
honored head the scorn. the contempt and
ridicule of the party whose swaddng bands
his patient hands helped to fashion, and he,
like the rock on the shores of a breaking sea,
stands unmoved, unframed, unconquered,
unyielding--if not triumphant and glorifed.

three candidates have been mentioned. Col.

Both the latter have strong backing. ....

The reporters have misquoted my address

Wouid never say that the Catholic church has

A distinguished savant of Hindostan lately

these did not, as others, stand UP for Christian

from these Indifferent things, and becoming
H1ndoos among the Hindoos gained them to
the precious and indispensable things of the
Christian religion. 1t is notorious how among
the American Indians Fathers De Smet and
MaZenod and their brethren have stood for
teetotalism and prohibition of the fire-water
from New or Old England. To estimate
fairly the comparative scarcity of distinctly

must remember how their ancestors, under
the penal laws, could learn to read only by
stealth, and how largely they supply for any
comparative deficiency in the way of reading

OVER IHE RIVER.

Organization of South st. PAUL..
The Minnesota & Northwestern
COMMUNICATIONS Happenings i'm
the Sixth Ward.
The council of the recently incorporated
town of South st. Paul. which lies i'll the
stock yards district, will hold meeting at
the Mcclellan school house, on the West
side, Saturday afternoon. At this meeting
a mayor will be elected, and the organza-
ton of the town government completed. A
constable, justice OF the peace and other
minor officers are to be chosen. At a
meeting of the council. held recently. A
Croft was elected town clerk, As vet the
council has not had i'll its possession a GER
titled copy of the city charter, and until
this could be procured it was not deemed
advisable to go ahead in the work of form
ing city government. Philip Crowley is
prominently mentioned in connection with
the office of mayor. 1t is the intention of
the council to make the cost of maintaining
the city government as low as possible dur
ing the first year. School houses are among
the most urgent needs of the new town,
and immediate action will be taken for the
erection of modest building to be used for
school purposes in the Third ward of the
new town. South st. Paul has popula-
ton of over 5000 people.
THEY WANT PROTECTION.
Much complaint is heard OH account of
the failure Of the Minnesota & Northwest
ern road to furnish better protection at the
street crossings on the West side. and par
ticularly at the crossings on Fairfield and
Chicago avenues. From the fact that a
curve in the track prevents any one passing
along the avenue from seeing approaching
trains until they reach the crossing, makes
passing over the tracks Oh Chicago avenue
particularly hazardous. There is fiagman
at the Fairfield crossing, but none on CHI
cage avenue. and West st. Paul residents
complain that the man on Fairfield avenue
doesn't exercise proper Diligence in warm
ing passers-by of the approach of trains.
The motor trains run past the avenues
every twenty minutes, and regular pas
senger and freight trains are passing con-
tinually. The council recently took action
upon the matter. but the people of the
West side complain that the company does
not appear to be in any hurry to comply
with the order of the council. that gates be
Dlaced at the 1 tiieago and Fairfield avenue
crossings. 60.

PROF. PHELPS, SUCCESSOR
Not Yet Selected, but VIII he Before
the First of the Month.

Considerable interest is being manifested
in the question of who is to succeed Prof.
Phelps as secretarysof the chamber of COM
merce. The matter of selecting man to
be recommended to the chamber is i'll the
hands of the executive committee, and Capt.
Peter Berkey, member of the committee,
was asked yesterday what progress was
being made i'll relation to the appointment
of secretary. Capt. Berkey said that the
committee had never had meeting on the
subject and that the matter had never been
considered by them as committee, al
though a man would probably be recon-
mended before April l. He did not think
that any one had been seriously thought of
as yet for the place, but the chamber did
not want any cheap man. When asked if
Gen. j. Ii. Baker was a candidate, Capt.
Berkey said ne had been spoken of, but did
not like to mention any other candidates as
they might not like it. Asked about the
salary he said that Prof. Phelps got 50, 500
year under contract, but that there was
no fixed salary, the amount would have to
be arranged with the man selected.

"A PARIRR MATCH.o
The Great Farcial Comedy i'm a New
Dress of Fun-.An Immense Audi
ence at the & rand Last Evening.

1t was an immense audience which
crowded into the opera house last night to
laugh its sides sore over that overwhelmingly
funny creation called GA Parlor Match. !"
The play is so familiar that it needs no ex-
tensive criticism. 1t is the same old budget
of comicalities done up in a new dress, and
vastly improved by the fresh garment it
wears. Many an extra laugh has been in
serted, and some most excellent speciality
features. Charlie Evans as McCorker, the
irrepressible book agent. is still there with
his expressive feet. and Hoey continues to
be the same bibulous Old HoSs. wandering
aimlessly about, and all the time the CEN
tral figure of the performance. Evans and
Hoey together bring out the gilttedge humor
of burlesque comedy. Miss Minnie French,
rs the Innocent Kidd, still bubbles over
with girliSh humor, and the supporting
company is just as good as it can be. The
songs are new and very fine. The quar-
tette is a superb one, and Hoey's new top
ical song took the audience by storm.
They couldn't get enough of it and
kept HoeY singing it for nearly
half honr. He was in wonderfully ac-
commoding humor, and every time he
switched that right foot over in response to
the encOres he provoked peals of laughter.
The same performance tonight. AT to.
morrow's matinee every lady who buys
reserved seat will be presented with a copy
of Hoey's new topical song.
NOTES.
Hoey's face is the picture of gloom en-
gendered by impecuniosity. The expression
never leaves it. His face is as devoid of a
smile as a stove gridde, whether he is carry
ing off the clock or skipping across the stage
with the family watch dog under his arm
The leading lady of the "Parlor Match
company got lost in the deal at Omaha, and
was left behind. Her name was Miss Nanny
Goat. The Kid was MISSED in the per-
Torrance last evening, although there was
whole family of Kids on hand.
One great beauty of Evans g. Hoey's
comedy acting is that neither of them over
does his work. There is a degree of natural
ness which is charming in itself.
Evans is never at a loss for gag. He al
ways mas something on the tip of his tongue
which fits like peg in hole.
The French sisters still retain the cham
pionship for graceful dancing.
